Make the engineering hull smaller. It looks too bulky compared to the nacelle.

Dalek is right. Just scale down the radius of the engineering hull.

Use the nacelle pylon as the one connecting the engineering hull but angle it back further. Have it set slightly further forward than the nacelle pylon. Then prop the engineering hull a bit further head. Then stretch the engineering hull forward so it looks longer and thinner.

Sorry, I know I'm being picky. But a TOS Kelvin should look perfect. :)

Edit: A bit like so (attached image)

Neat project, I don't know why anyone'd rap you in the mouth for this idea. :D

Just, don't put the engineering hull upside down as it is in Dalek's example pic though, lol.

Perfect. The engineering hull looks a little bland though. Any chance of adding some windows to the textures?

He means the two or three decks that lead off of decks three/four, and support the upper pylon.

Don't forget this is TOS style, and pretty much how I'd have expected a TOS Kelvin to look!

Although personally, considering it's an older ship; I'd like to see the nacelle 'spires' on the bussards. (Perhaps a variant?)

The saucer angle is to steep for this to work.  The JJ Kelvin's saucer is much more flat.
